Thank You, Syfy, For Finally Giving Wil Wheaton His Own TV Show

All I can say is that it’s about time. Major kudos to Syfy for giving Wil Wheaton his own television series. The Wil Wheaton Project, which begins airing next month, features our favorite geek icon covering pop culture with his own brand of rapid-fire commentary.

So far, 12 episodes have all been greenlit. “Wil Wheaton’s rock star status within the genre fan base, along with his insatiable passion for all things pop culture make him the ideal arbiter of what’s hot and what’s not in the genre space,” said Dave Howe, Syfy President. “Wil’s legion of fans will relish his wry sense of humor and sharp wit, coupled with his unique commentary on the most popular genre entertainment out there.”

“The Wil Wheaton Project has been incredibly fun to develop, and I can’t wait for my fellow geeks to see it,” said Wheaton.

The series premieres Tuesday, May 27 at 10PM ET/PT on Syfy. I’ll be there.
